Forget all that stuff about washing boards in dishwashers. Go to Auto Zone and get a can of brake cleaner. I have a stockpile of it for washing logic boards. Works like a charm and dries quickly without residue. You can spray the whole board down with it. Get the messiest spots first where caps have leaked and just use it in spurts in those areas. Hold the board vertically so most of it runs off.
If you're freaked about it drying, just put the board in front of a fan for a few minutes.

But in generally I don't know what good it is for electronic boards. -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
